Greetings all,

I am trying to modify an installation so it warns users (by displaying an 
additional dialog during the installation process) if the installation will 
perform a major upgrade. For some reason, Windows Installer is not behaving the 
way I expect, presumably because I've done something stupid somewhere.

In the main WXS file, there is an Upgrade element, like the one shown here:

<Upgrade Id="---deleted---">
  <UpgradeVersion Maximum="$(var.Version)" Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" 
OnlyDetect="no" IncludeMaximum="no" />
</Upgrade>

I have created a dialog, and tried to bind it into the user interface sequence 
as follows:

<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" 
Value="UpgradeWarningDlg" Order="1">PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" 
Value="LicenseAgreementDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>

I have confirmed, using the Windows Installer log file, that 
PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED does get set when an older version is present. 
Unfortunately the UI is still going directly to the LicenseAgreementDlg and is 
never showing the UpgradeWarningDlg.

I imagine I'm doing something dumb... but so far I haven't found anything 
helpful in the list archives etc. Can anyone suggest what the problem is?

Regards,
Richard
